GREENSBORO, NC (WTVD) --

Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. Tim Kaine made a stop in North Carolina Wednesday. He spoke to supporters in Greensboro with the goal of persuading voters that Hillary Clinton would boost jobs and the economy if elected president.

The NC GOP took issue with Kaine's visit, focusing particularly on economic policy.

"It's funny that Tim Kaine would come to North Carolina to promote Hillary Clinton's disastrous economic agenda, considering unemployment skyrocketed and he proposed $4 billion in tax increases while Governor of Virginia. It's clear Tim Kaine knows nothing about sound economic policies," said State Sen. Joyce Krawiec in a statement.

"Under GOP leadership, North Carolina has become home to the fastest growing economy in the nation, added more than 300,000 jobs, lowered unemployment in all 100 counties and implemented historic tax reform envied by current Virginia Governor and close friend of Hillary Clinton, Terry McAuliffe. Maybe Tim Kaine should take notes from Governor McCrory and the state legislature before promoting an economic agenda that Hillary Clinton doesn't even know how to fund," Krawiec added.

Kaine said Trump does not have a sensible plan for what he'd do if elected.

"Every time you get to the details, it's just 'believe me,'" said Kaine. "North Carolinians are not gullible people."
